is there a way to quickly lookup an entity via ref like [:id 0] and get a map of all attrs?

I'm running into issues using entity because it doesn't implement empty

and I'm trying to walk it

it's totally fine if it doesn't resolve references to other entities, as long as it contains the refs. e.g.

{:id 0
 :refs #{[:id 1] [:id 2]}}

I’d rather a query for that, though you’d get :db/id values rather than :id (into {} (q '[:find ?attr ?val :where [?e :id 0] [?e ?a ?val] [?a :db/ident ?attr]] the-db))
